Contemplative Retreat For Women

Overview

The Wisdom of the Universe moves through time and finds vitality in the many spiritual traditions of our day. Wisdom awakens us to the world around us and brings a deep ecological consciousness and the knowledge of our relationship with the cosmos.
This retreat for women will call together wisdom from many of the world’s spiritual resources to renew, enrich, and inspire us to be an awakened people in a world that needs our love and action.
Grounded in the emerging cosmology that integrates science and spirituality, the Contemplative Retreat for Women is a week of inner exploration through one-on-one spiritual guidance, ritual and reflection, embodied prayer such as yoga and modified T’ai Chi, and time for silent reflection.
